What this Trial Is About
Breast cancer represents a disabling diagnosis for women, and the related destructive surgical intervention of mastectomy inevitably affects their social, relational and working life. The primary aim of post-oncological breast reconstruction is to restore volume, shape and projection as similar as possible to the contralateral breast, in unilateral mastectomies and between the two reconstructed breasts, in bilateral mastectomies, avoiding the patient the need to resort to uncomfortable and unsightly external prostheses. The study in question has a purely observational and non-interventional nature, in order to evaluate whether today the traditional EXP-IMPL prosthetic reconstructive technique represents an obsolete option or whether it can still be considered a valid alternative in clinical, anthropometric and patient satisfaction terms
